Polo is has fascinated me since I was 9 years old as a longtime polo fan and current Marketing Director and Professional Private Events Planner for the luxury market. This is because Polo is one of the OLDEST sports in the world and is ancient since it is over 2,500 years old (YES! Polo is older than Jesus!!! I didn’t it believe it until I did my own research and learned this fact was true.) Polo is also one of the FASTEST sports as horse and bravely fierce rider have been reported to travel at speeds of up to 35-40 MPH and a well hit little hard ball, the size of a softball, can travel at speeds of up to 100 MPH. All of this while the players as you can see in the photo(s) below are not wearing shoulder pads and full-fledged face masks which also makes Polo one of the most DANGEROUS sports in the world! Played on the LARGEST FIELD in professional sports (just over 9 football fields would fit in the square footage of a regulation sized polo field.

POLO is a Way of Life in Which Tradition is Revered and Competition is Fierce

Acknowledged as being one of the fastest games in the world, polo captivates an audience like no other sport and is played regularly throughout the entire state of Texas!

Come join us and experience the camaraderie and the thrill of the sport of princes and kings. Polo is the sport of princes and kings because since ancient times kings and their prince sons would practice and hone their battlefield war skills on horseback. Whether young or older, polo does not discriminate due to age. They say if you need “new legs,” you get a new horse!

POLO – The Ancient 2,500 Year Old Sport of Princes and Kings

Mounted nomads in Central Asia played a version of polo that was part sport and part training for war, with as many as 100 men on a side. In Persia, polo became a national sport, played by the nobility and military men.

For a great deal of his adult life, Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales, was a keen and competitive polo player. The Prince of Wales became interested in polo as a child, watching his father, The Duke of Edinburgh, play at Windsor. In his early teens Prince Charles, His Royal Highness, played practice chukkas (a period of time in polo) at Windsor during the school holidays. His Royal Highness’s handicap rose gradually from 1 in 1967 to 4 in 1982.

Prince Charles the Prince of Wales is actually QUITE an accomplished polo player with a 4 handicap, he has surpassed the ranking of 3 required to be a polo PRO. This is a rarity for polo patrons who most commonly have a handicap of only 0 or 1 (Polo Handicap range is -2 to 10, with 10 being the highest of which only a handful of players currently playing in the world have achieved.)

On November 17, 2005, after 40 years and a few fractures, Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, retired from polo. He once described Polo as “my (Prince Charles’) one great extravagance”.

Keeping up with Royal Family traditions both Prince William and Prince Harry are currently avid polo players and play often in polo events benefiting good causes right here in the United States!

Born and raised in Texas, with his main home located in Highland Park of Dallas Texas, polo Patron John Muse has traveled “across the pond” many times over the last several years to play polo with both Prince Harry and Prince William at Sandhurst in England to benefit the British Forces Foundation and has won the coveted trophy!*
